"Ready for lunch?" A familiar voice spoke to Reid and Sophia. It was Tyler, Sarah and Caleb. "Where's Kate?" Sophia asked. "With Pogue, arguing." Caleb was quick to answer. The five began heading towards to cafeteria, "About what?" Sophia asked again curiously. No one answered. As they turned the corner, they ran into Pogue and Kate still arguing about who knows what. Both groups paused then Pogue grabbed Kate's arm and forced her into the lunch room without saying a word to anyone. It's been a week and two days since Pogue has spoken to Reid and Sophia.
The group of five proceeded into the lunch room and grabbed seats at the same table as Pogue and Kate. As usual this past week, Reid and Sophia sat at the opposite end of the table as Pogue. It seemed to bother Pogue and Sophia more than it did Reid. Pogue kept glancing over at Sophia and Reid as they talked with Tyler and Sarah. Sophia would glance back, Pogue would look away. This hurt Sophia's feelings. She felt that she was the cause of all of this menace. Kate couldn't take it anymore, Sophia was one of her closest friends. Kate spoke all of three words to her and Pogue got up and left.
Later on that day in the dorms, there was a knock at Sophia's door. She glimpsed over at her roommate, Mary. "You gonna get that?" Mary asked Sophia. "I guess." Sophia said in a frustrated tone, Mary was notoriously lazy. Sophia cracked open the door, it was Kate. "Can I come in?" Kate inquired hopefully. Sophia opened the door wider and made a hand gesture welcoming her in then closed the door behind Kate. The two of them hugged, "I haven't been able to talk to you in forever!" Kate spoke out with relief while welcoming herself onto Sophia's bed.
Sophia sat next to her, "I know!" there was a pause, "I'm sorry if I'm causing problems between you and Pogue." Sophia really did feel sorry. "What?" Kate was confused, "Who told you Pogue and I were having problems?" She asked the concerned, gray eyed girl.
"Caleb told us earlier right before lunch that you and Pogue were arguing. No one told me what about but, I figured it was because of Reid and I." Sophia played with her fingers, she looked down at them and then looked into Kate's eyes.
"Pogue just doesn't want me to talk to you and Reid. I keep telling him to get over the fact that you and Reid are together." Kate retorted, "I know Pogue misses you, I can tell. He always looks over at you and sometimes he calls me Sophia." She went on to say. Sophia couldn't take this fighting any longer.
The next day after school, Sophia waited by Pogue's dorm room. As Pogue turned the corner and had seen Sophia standing there he honestly had thought about walking away. Instead he walked over to her and without saying a word he opened his dorm door and went inside, he didn't even close it behind him. Sophia helped herself in, closed the door and sat on his roommates bed. "Pogue, I forgive you." Sophia began to say, Pogue turned around and looked at her, while putting a clean shirt on, "For hitting me." she reminded him. Still there were no words from Pogue.
"Okay, I'm sorry for sneaking around behind your back!" She finally got it out into the open. "Yeah, well you should be!" Pogue exclaimed, Sophia opened her mouth to say something but Pogue continued on. "You know how I feel about Reid when it comes to girls. He's a good friend but he's not a good lover Sophia!"
"You don't know that! Just because he's a jerk when it comes to other girls doesn't mean he's like that with me! He's different around me!" Sophia shouted at Pogue, "I'm not just another girl to him!" Sophia ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
Pogue punched the closet, his roommate peaked his head in the dorm door, "Is it safe to come in now?" He asked. Pogue sat on his bed and stared at the ceiling, this wasn't over quite yet.
